More or less. My primarly goal was to support loading png files
actually, but since I was there I tought it was a good idea
to drop the extension checking as a whole, since the core lib
supports it.

Sure, my code does create an SWFInput from the filename in any case,
so you might as well skip the file opening.

I'm not sure I see a case for handling alpha separaterly.
At least I tought the core lib would read alpha when available
in input (say png).
Jpeg with alpha would be impossible to generate with Ming,
by relying on that.

For clarity, I'm just working on what makes it easier for me
to decompile SWFs to perl scripts for analisys/optimization.
